    ⭐ About Travel Beans:
    Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years - from backpacking to vanlife:
    2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!
    2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.
    2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.
    2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can't quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!
    What now?
    Over the years, we've discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers - one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You'll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we'd recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.
    Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

    Congratulations family 🎊 I can understand completely the “raining “ reason to move out of the UK.
    I spent my last 10 years of my life living in the UK and moved to the USA in the past few months. Two main reasons, one was the weather. I was not realising how depressed I was until I moved to a sunny place and how much better life can be. Of course, UK always will have a special place in my heart.

    I could relate to your memories of being to!d more what you couldn't do than adults encouraging you to reach for the stars. I really struggle with making plans and I think part of that is tied to having a hard time articulating hopes and dreams. You are the first vloggers whose ethos of making your dreams tangible makes sense to me BECAUSE I don't begin with the expectation that anything is possible. Good luck!

    Just an FYI about the car, you can only have your own car if you are legally resident.....so you will have to use rental cars unfortunately. Also with regards to ownership of the house. It depends how your marriage is registered at the commune, if it's a marriage seperato, which means neither of you can take each other's property or money, or if it's a marriage commune dei beni which means everything is shared equally.
